Trayvon Martin. what?! nobody wants to discuss this?

Not researching just engulfed in all things Gettysburg at the moment, been here past two days with atf haven't been near a computer in a while so I can't really do amy hardcore research or scour the sentinel on my tiny ass screen might ho crosseyed.

Never been to kanasas city, will definitely consider it though. Originally Posted by SkylarCruzWantsYou

If the founding fathers were clairvoyants, and could see all the problems we have now, they would've picked their own cotton.

^^^ I used to live in/near Gettysburg. I totally agree with you.

On the topic of the thread - I will not and have not read it but I thought this might be a good contribution

Ok okay don't wanna derail the thread. My bizzle.

P.s. cyclorama was amazing, if you haven't visited it since before 2008, you should visit again the visitor's center is amazing.

The Plot thickens

That's old news. But the mainstream media is just now reporting it.

I'm starting to believe Zimmerman more and more. I never bought in to the lynch mob mentality. When I see the Rev. Al Sharpton and Rev. Jesse Jackson on TV, they don't seem to be very passionate about this cause. They only appear to be maintaining their image.

And those hoodie marches are a joke - it's a lot of the same people you will see talking on an iPhone in the grocery checkout line, paying with food stamps.

I'd give my left nut to hear one intelligent parent proclaim publicly that because of this incident they will discourage their youngsters from walking around alone and wearing a hoodie at night in a high-crime neighborhood.

If the founding fathers were clairvoyants, and could see all the problems we have now, they would've picked their own cotton. Originally Posted by pantsontheground

Future generations will curse us for ruining the country by opening the floodgates to massive third world immigration just so we don't have to get our hands dirty.

Sadly to say it seems like Trayvon wasn't actually a saint himself, now all of a sudden the media want's to portray him as a martyr! What a fucking joke!!! That poor bastard screwed with the wrong person, wrong time!

Like the Florida cop said "You act like a thug, you die like a thug".

Here we go. Looks like we’ve got Al Shaprton, Jesse Jackson, and Obama to thank for ginning this case up (without most of the facts) to the point that now we are seeing some looting and ransacking of private property:

LOCAL 10 NEWS – North Miami Beach police said surveillance video shows dozens of high school students demonstrating in the Trayvon Martin case Friday ransacking a Walgreens store.

The incident occurred during a walkout from North Miami Beach Senior High School in support of Martin, 17, who was fatally shot in Sanford. Protesters have been calling for the arrest of George Zimmerman, 28, who has not been charged because he claimed self-defense in the shooting, according to police.

Minutes after walking out of their school Friday, a large group of students walked through the streets of North Miami Beach. Along the way, they stopped at a Walgreens at 163rd Street and 15th Avenue at about 10:40 a.m.

Surveillance video shows dozens of teenagers running through the store. Police said about 80 to 100 students stormed in, ransacking the shelves, before the school’s vice principal ordered everyone outside.

North Miami Beach police said students damaged items worth about $150. Local 10′s John Turchin reported some merchandise also was stolen.

Some of the students dropped their IDs on the way out of the store, police said, so investigators have an idea of who was inside.


I for one hope they keep it up; Obama will be a hostage to the situation....................

From the Huffington link above:

An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated that Martin, not Zimmerman, was arrested in 2005. We regret this error.

You couldn't make it up.

I am getting confused whether Zimmerman/Martin was or was not a saint/sinner, and whether those sending out the black and white messages will ever feel any shame.

ps. riots after an incident like this were experienced in London last year, of course the rioters came from all walks of life and all the self proclaimed community leaders came forth and spouted their nonsense.
